A House Of Snakes And Emeralds
by MORGAN NORTH
Power runs in her blood. War waits at her door. And some legacies are written in scars.
In a realm where monsters prowl the dark and magic is both feared and revered, the goddess of Life and Afterlife demands only one thing: obedience.
For eighteen years, Patricia Valtos-Etria has hidden her forbidden powers beneath the guise of an animal empath, training in silence and survival. But when Witches like her begin to die, and the Government of Kindred looks the other way, Tricia faces a choice: keep running, or finally rise and fight.
With the fierce loyalty of her best friend, the sharp wisdom of her familiar, and the unexpected aid of a growing love, Tricia plunges into a dangerous conspiracy that threatens not only her kind but the delicate peace between Kindred and its war-ready neighbor, Shyl. As she crosses into forbidden lands and returns changed—stronger, more powerful, and hunted—she realizes that the greatest threat isn’t the one outside the walls.
It’s her bloodline.
To stop a war and save those she loves, Tricia must face the one monster who knows all her secrets: her grandmother, Valdia Etria.
Rule one of being an Etria: keep your secrets close, and your enemies closer.
It’s a lesson Tricia knows well, but to secure her future, she’ll have to confront the truths buried deep in her past…if they don’t destroy her first.
